The “Movement for a Better World” is a spirit, a momentum, a striving towards, an inspirational force. It all began at the end of the second world war. From the ashes of hatred and division, of the high cost of human life, this awareness emerged, the need for a new day. The night in which humanity could live opposed to one another, or without one another, must come to an end. The dawn called for a new humanity in which it was unthinkable and impracticable to live if not to live with one another and for one another, not independently but inter-dependently. The group is a “service” to this development. It is a service of “animation or re-animation” to promote relations, choices and structures that are consistent with this transformation of humanity and to penetrate the roots and values of human life. It is a service of communitarian re-animation because it is carried out by a community – a group of men and women of different cultures, ages, social conditions, vocations – and because it seeks to “awaken and deepen the consciousness of all that human life – the life of each and all - is a good common to us all.
